Assessment of Thyroid Auto-antibodies in Euthyroid Infertile Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome - A Cross-sectional Analytical Study
Women with PCOS were found to be 11 times more likely to have anti-TPO antibodies and 20 times more likely to have anti-TG antibodies compared to non-PCOS women. This heightened prevalence of anti-thyroid antibodies suggests that testing for these antibodies may be warranted in women with PCOS, even if they have normal thyroid function. However, further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate these findings.
